The other 3 ARCs are all right I guess. They used the cruddy old CW mold, but at least they got the correct shade of blue (to match the comics) instead of the greyish-blue tone used on the original release.

The gunner dude looks good (aside from missing the rangefinder), but they got the BFG wrong. The guy with that helmet is supposed to have the quad-cannon:

The rotary BFG belongs to one of the regular helmets:

Then again, wasn't there a rumor of a "Clone Gunner" as an exclusive? Perhaps it will be the quad-cannon guy.

I'm actually up for probably two of these sets if I can find them... This'll be one I track down via DPCI so I'm not missing out on it just incase.

The set's not a knock-out but the red ARC Sergeant looks pretty spiffy to me despite inaccurate pistols. I'm ok with that. The re-used CW Clones are a bit ****** and how hard would it have been to use a regular SA Clone mold and stick a Kama on it, seriously? Seems rather half-assed, but at the same time I'm not gonna gripe too much on those grunts.

The Mini-Gunner is cool just because it's different to me, so I like it despite inaccuracies. I may try my hand at a Pom-Pom Gunner then at some point, but the mini-gunner looks really cool to me for some reason. I do think this set will do better than the Assault on Coruscant set what with the Clone Wars toon Gunship coming. It's the perfect thinking on Hasbro's part despite a rather half-assed effort ons ome of the figures.

I think most would have liked a SA ARC Trooper resculpt in the basic line actually. One of the more popular characters. The CW figure sold pretty darn well in both colors in my area, and red was pretty impossible to find overall.

A top-notch-detailed SA ARC is one of my Top Ten or even Top Five wanted figures.

I've gotta believe an SA basic ARC is coming someday, maybe late this year after the current "2006" waves have run their course. If not, then in 2007 since the ARCs will presumably reappear in the 3-D CW toon. I mean, I never thought they'd make a figure of the Talz Jedi, so if they'll do him, another ARC seems almost mandatory.
